Since there is lots of free time around Xmas and duel is a game mode played much too little in Smokin Guns, i decided to invite you all over for a little Xmas duel challenge - a one-evening cup if you want.

Here is the deal:Date: December 23rd, 2012Time: Start 8PM CETModus Operandi: If <= 12 players register, we will play one big, jolly round of duel with all players. He who wins 3( or 5) rounds of duel, earns the crown.If more than 12 players register, there will be a "group phase" of 2 duel rounds in 2 groups. The better half of each group get thrown together and play for the crown like described above for <= 12 players. The guys who did not make it to the winning group will play a challenge with the same rules for the crown of the 2nd league.

Since this is quick and easy, requires no big hazzle to put a team together and allows non-clan members to take part in competative gaming, i am thinking of putting this up on a monthly basis. Then of course featuring a proper website with stats and all - if you like the idea that is.

Registration: Please reply to this post, if you would like to play on December 23rd, please state your ingame name also (the one you will play the cup with). Deadline for registration is December 22nd, 10pm CET.

Further details: Server address, password, will be posted here SHORTLY (an hour or so) before the cup starts.

So everyone, here is the grouping for tonight including the server addresses.Best 4 of each group after two regular rounds of duel will play the 'A league' on parttimegeeks.net:27560, the other eight guys will play the 'B league' on parttimegeeks.net:27660. In case rank 4 and 5 have an equal score, both will play the 'A league'. In case 3 or more players share the 4th rank, there will be some spontaneous system for elimination. Whether the actual leagues will have a duellimit of 3 or 5 will be decided just after the group phases - depending on how long they take. Password for the servers follows later.Whoever still wants to join on short notice, talk to me in #jeuxlinux in the Quakenet IRC network before 7pm CET.
